size/weight of boat and top speed at full twist?I believe my 3hp will run 3.5 hours at full speed (if I remember correctly), and 20 miles or so. Certainly plenty for a long day of fishing whether trolling or running here and there.
John, clearly your salesman is not up to speed with today’s battery and engine technology. I seriously doubt it will overtake gas engine power, but it is certainly a viable option for many uses.

I dunno man-5 years is a lifetime in the electronics market. If the push to get petroleum pollution off of lakes takes hold things will happen fast.

I’ll bet my Torqeedo is a dinosaur in 3-5 years.
